They sent someone back to "fix" some minor damages and gave us a full refund. Thank you. read more

Man With A Van has helped me with two moves, one in 2020 and another recently in March 2026. Both times, the movers who have shown up have been professional and done a great job. With my first move in 2020, there was a bit of a scheduling issue, causing the movers to arrive later than originally scheduled and with a van rather than a truck (I had been told that it would be a truck in order to fit all of my belongings into one trip). Therefore, it ended up taking two trips. However, the owner made things right by only charging me the original rate for one trip. Mistakes happen and I'm fine with it, as long as the company owns up to it and makes it right. And there were no similar issues with my second move in 2026. The guys had furniture wrap and blankets to protect my belongings. During both moves, I did not find anything that was damaged at all. What more can you ask for!? I highly recommend Man With a Van! In fact, I'm likely going to use them again soon to help with some items that I will need to move into storage. read more

We hired them to move from 3rd Floor apartment with no elevator. The guys were friendly courteous and efficient. I recommend them wholeheartedly Will consider hiring them in the future. read more

I was given a time window of 8-9 a.m., but the crew didn't show up until 9:35 with no call or apology--and they reeked of pot when they arrived. I had made it clear during booking that we needed a *cargo van* because of the tight spaces at both locations and the small amount of stuff being moved. Instead, a giant truck showed up, which made things much harder to maneuver. The movers were unprofessional from start to finish, and the experience was disappointing overall. I definitely would not hire this company again or recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable moving service. read more

Not good experience. The crew was disorganized. I had asked th3m to put a microwave, a rug and bagabof trash in the dumpster. They did not. They left early for the new apartment. I rid not have time to load my car with items, that I had to go back 17 miles to get. They broke pole fan and a box of glassware. They rude to me and acted like I had to do whst they wanted regardless of my requirements. They were not a cohesive group ir team. read more

They showed up unprepared for my move with a small truck. They ruined my mattress by not wrapping it in the mattress bag that I provided. Almost every piece of furniture they moved for me was scratched or damaged. They caused several instances of property damage to my home in the moving process. They accused me of lying and were incredibly disrespectful when I reported my concerns. Would not give me their DOT number to file an insurance claim. They never made any attempt to rectify this situation. I will be reporting them to the BBB and the DOT. Beware of dishonest business practices. read more

Sprinter Van was way too small. They didn't figure that out till 3 hours in. Left me with heavy items I had identified during the quote m/planning stage. Broke a large poster and didn't tell me about frame damage. Unable to follow simple instructions to bring boxes to different rooms. One person did not speak any English, which normally would not be a problem, but they just said yes a lot pretending that they understood and brought everything to the wrong room. Just say you dont understand. read more

I contacted this company and while they did get back in a timely fashion, the customer service is terrible. They don't do same day moves, or two day Like advertise. They also don't give you any open availability to work with. They give you short one word answers when replying. I don't think I would trust them with anything if that's the way they treat people with their "customer service ". read more

Man with a Van delaying and dragging confirmation at non-peak rate for many days and then jacking up the quotes last minute so I switched to Moverama for my small move and i could not be more satisfied. this manager at Man with a Van called Jin was absolutely ridiculous. day 1, quote confirmed by multiple emails and calls, day 7 she got the wrong state and changed to wrong quotes, I called in to correct and finalize at non-peak rate, confirmed with her on the phone about their non peak rate with her responding saying $150 was agreed, but she refused to finalize and told me to wait, day 8, jacked up the price. then, she denied everything she said on the phone about "offering me the non-peak rate" despite she could jack it up, denied the non-peak price she said on day 7 while refusing to finalizing at the moment and told me to wait only to increase the price on day 8, denied everything written in the previous email with the non-peak quote stated....despite I kept on inquiring, calling back to check back, confirming again and again the non-peak rates, rushing her to finalize it when she refused to finalize it at the non-peak rate, told to wait for email, only to wait for her to jack up the price. she literally denied everything she said from day 1-day 7 despite she kept on dragging it, refusing to finalizing it for me at non peak price, send me back to wait, wasting my time, only to jack up the price on the last day. very dishonest company and in the process she literally blackmailed me making me think that there was something wrong with me that I refused to pay the peak rates when others would and that there was something wrong with me to be upset because she changed the price that she never "confirmed" anything...that even whatever BS she said on the phone about non-peak rate and or even the emails with the stated quotes don't count. they probably think they are the only company that does small moves with no 2-3hr minimum that I must go with them for my small move. well, I have to thank her a lot, because of her jacking up the price, I found a even better mover, Moverama, whom was willing to do it at a reasonable, competitive price. the owner was so nice, everything was discussable, I was respected as a customer, they were willing to accommodate my small move. they even told me to step aside during the move that they will handle everything for me as i paid them. awesome attitude. reasonable price. i would highly recommend Moverama over Man with a van for small moves despite i have been with Man with a van for 8 yrs. they will not be getting any of my business going forward. read more

This was our first time using Man With A Van, and the experience was great. Our move was small, so the Sprinter Van was the right size for us. Our crew was right on time and quickly had everything loaded. They took the time to wrap some items in plastic, which was appreciated. We had 2 stops and it went smoothly on both. The movers were super helpful and effective getting the job done right. Great service all around. I highly recommend this company. read more

Needed to move a 2 BR apt. to a basement one that was 3 miles away. They were responsive to my initial request and after sending an inventory list, offered a panel truck and 3 man crew. They arrived on time and the whole thing took 90min- was less than 500 when other companies quoted 750-1200. The oversized sofa didn't make it down but they made a valiant effort. Would happily use them again. read more

I had a great experience with Man with a Van. I went with Man with a Van because I had a very short move (moving just a few blocks) and a lot of moving companies had 3 hour minimums, which I was almost sure I was not going to reach. It was easy to make a reservation online and the movers showed up almost exactly on time, even though I was likely their second move of the day (an afternoon move on the weekend). I thought I had a pretty good amount of stuff, but they moved all my boxes in one trip - in basically 5 minutes, half of the living room was empty. The movers also took care to wrap all of my furniture with blankets and stretch wrap, so there was no damage to anything during the move. The whole team was very respectful and efficient, and my whole move was done in less than two hours. The movers made sure to ask where everything should be placed in my new apartment, so I didn't have to drag items around after they had left. The pricing was very reasonable as well. I would definitely recommend working with them - they made what is usually a stressful experience almost entirely stress-free. read more

Efficient and well priced! Josh and his moving partner did a fantastic job. I was in shock when they called me at 8:55am and told me that they had arrived. This was literally the first time for me that movers had shown up on time. Knowing that Man With A Van doesn't have a minimum hour requirement like a lot of moving companies do, I was concerned they would intentionally drag out my job, given that I was moving out of a small one bedroom apartment. They had a very efficient, organized, and careful approach to loading and unloading the truck, and the amount of time it took was as expected. Unloading everything, they: left zero scuff marks on the walls of my new place, followed my labeling on which boxes and furniture went upstairs vs downstairs, and even put some thought into placing similar items together (ex. putting the clothing boxes in the same part of the bedroom). My move was significantly less stressful thanks to having reliable movers. Great rates and great service. read more

This is a terrible company. The movers showed up two hours late. This was after texting me to tell me they would be an hour and 22 minutes late. I called them when they were 1.5 hours late. They were lost. I'm not sure why. I even wrote in the instructions exactly how to get to my street. Then, the website says that they can disassemble and reassemble a Peloton treadmill. They cannot. Of course, I didn't know this until they showed up and looked at me confused. As I result, I have to stay in town later than I planned to wait for an appointment for Peloton to disassemble the tread, hire another moving company to move it, and then call Peloton again to come and reassemble it. You guessed it - I'm out more than $600 for this fiasco. If that isn't enough, I received an email from someone at the company telling me that they were going to charge me an extra $170 because the movers didn't charge me enough. This was after the movers said they were discounting me for all of the issues ($200 off). Well, the moving company just charged my credit card more money, which I didn't authorize. I am now disputing this unauthorized charge through my credit card company. I wouldn't use this unethical and highly unprofessional company if I were you. read more

I was really disappointed with my movers. They took five hours to move from my one bedroom apartment to another, granted they were third floor apartments but I had caught them taking long breaks several times. They also told me that they were unable to move liquids because it wasn't allowed in the van It seemed to me that they were dragging out the time since they knew this was an hourly paid service. They also broke my smart TV and refused to get me a new one as the insurance covers only 60 cents per pound. They also scratched up some of my furniture and my bed frame as well. The only reason am giving any stars is because they were very responsive and communicative. They refunded me $200 because of the scratched up furniture, tv, and the time it took for the move. Update: the owner had reached out to me because he felt bad about what had happened. He told me he would replace the tv and asked me to send him some tvs that were the same size and reasonably priced. I sent him a few and followed up several times with no response. Definitely disappointed . Should've never reached out in the first place. read more

The is my first one-star review. I hate to leave them, but I had a very frustrating experience and I don't want other people to experience it. I hired this company to pick up some furniture from my parents and bring it to my house. We selected a day, and they told me they had wide availability. I agreed, selected a 9am pick up time, and paid a deposit. My parents and I worked it out so that we can both be home for the pick up and delivery. The day before they contact me and said there was a mistake and that they couldn't pick up the item until 10am. I said no problem. My parents and I moved our schedule a bit but it wasn't a huge deal. That evening they contact me again and said that pick up time would be between 12 and 3. They explained that there was a mechanical issue. We didn't really have a choice, so agreed to that later timeframe. Then at 9 pm or so, I get a call from someone apologizing. They suggested that if it was huge inconvenience for me, they could send a crew down from NYC and make the original morning pick up. I didn't want to inconvenience a crew like that so I said forget it - let's just stick with 12-3. Then today - the day of the move - they didn't show up by 3. I contact management and they blame me for not asking the NYC crew to come down the night before. But they told me that someone should be at the pick up spot by 4. Then at 3:45 they told me that they couldnt make it to 4:30. I try calling to talk to people, but it's hard to get anyone to take my calls. Anyways, they're friendly but not very dependable. Like most people, we have a busy schedule and went to considerable lengths to be around for the delivery - but they just kept pushing things back and didn't seem very concerned about it. read more

I booked with Man with a Van for a studio apartment move from University City to Old City. The prices were the most reasonable I had seen and I really appreciated the fact that they did not have two-three hour minimums like most moving companies. My move only took two hours so I did not want a three hour minimum. The night before the move they called me to let me know they would have to change my 9am move to a time frame between 11-1pm as one of their movers had a personal emergency. When the movers showed up, they were outsourced movers not from Man with a Van. However, they did an awesome job!!! I think it just shows that Man with a Van will make sure that your move goes as seamlessly as possible. I would 100% use Man with a Van again. read more

I really don't want to even give them 1 star. PAUL (coordinator/manager) was EXTREMELY rude, unprofessional and unreliable. I had a move set on a Thursday. I had some communication issues with them due to their lack of common sense. While trying to resolve the issues, it often lead to being hung up on and being told that they would get back to me. That never happened. After 6 hours past my moving time and many calls later, he told me they would be there late that night and never showed....leaving me with no option but to scramble to find a new mover a week later. DO NOT TRUST PAUL. It is sad because the movers could have been great, but due to this man's lack of care...I will never know. Paul, sign up for some customer service classes! read more

This is my second time using this company for a move & I cannot say enough - they were fast, efficient, and accommodating to any of our needs during the move. This was a first move from apartment to a house and felt very stressful - but this company and the movers really made it 100x easier. We were moved-out & moved-in in less than 2 hours. So thankful!! read more

Man With A Van - Movers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Have never felt the need to leave a review before, but changed my mind for this one after attempting to come to a reasonable resolution with my experience using Man with a Van. Short version: Crew was scheduled for 12-2pm on a Saturday. Arrived at 5pm. Poorly handled the cargo and caused damage to the walls at the destination with a drawn out move. Repeated attempts to speak on the phone and via email to come to a resolution met with frustration and hostility. Card was charged anyway. Long version: Mistakes happen, jobs run late, crews get tired. I understand and was prepared to make sure I did everything on my end to make sure this process went as smoothly as possible: parking permit for a busy street on Saturday afternoon and reserved freight elevator for the destination. Due to the crew showing up at 5pm for a 12-2pm window, those efforts were meaningless and a lot of time was wasted looking for parking and taking multiple elevator trips. A crew of 3 guys showed up exhausted from their day. I know because they were frustrated and made it apparent to me immediately that it wasn't their fault that they were late and they were going from a job in Brooklyn to Jersey to Philly now before having to head back at the end of the night. I get it and that sucks. I offered water, helped move, whatever I could do. On a first glance assessment, one of them estimated a half hour for the first part of the job. I was in a studio apt with 15 boxes and a queen mattress along with some smaller furniture, nothing over 50lbs. They played tetris in their truck with no blankets or mats for the furniture and a complete disregard for boxes labeled fragile. Only one guy ever moved anything at a time. Another took a shit immediately upon arrival and I don't even want to think about how he cleaned up because there was no toilet paper or towels available. And if you're concerned about COVID, masks were pulled down to the chin after the first five minutes. At the destination, the crew somehow managed to put a hole in the hallway with a moving cart. The hallways are wide and I still don't understand how that happened. I haven't unpacked fully but am continuing to find minor damage. Honestly, the worst part of this experience was not the moving crew. If anything I felt bad for these guys that were clearly exhausted and I tipped them for the full time, despite my issue with how long it took them. The worst part of this move was dealing with Paul. Paul's a busy guy. You can tell because he loves telling you that he's a busy guy. After not responding to an internet quote submission, I called to schedule my move. He put me on hold, asked who I was, repeated incorrect information he had just told me minutes earlier, etc. If you're wondering why I didn't just give up on this company immediately, it's because I had a completely different experience just a year ago. Same cargo, different crew, job was over in under an hour. Five-star experience and I was really hoping this would be similar. Instead I got Paul. The total move took 2 hours with a 15 minute travel time. I was charged $140/hr with a $40 travel surcharge. Total charged was $320, but forgot to mention there was a $5 deposit made days earlier that for some reason wasn't taken out of the final charge after all, so $325. This doesn't include the cost of a parking permit, having to reschedule cleaners due to the massive delay, and whatever the cost of fixing the property at my new residence. Paul refused to speak on the phone and wanted me to email him. Never heard anything back on the night of the move. Woke up Monday to find a charge on my card despite assurances that I wouldn't be charged for the job until we had talked. Called back, was told to "call the cops (?) or do what you have to do because I'm busy and I just can't". This was just my experience with a specific crew, I didn't even catch their names but they said they were from Brooklyn. I'm sure the time of day and who you get makes all the difference. Unfortunately it seems like you're stuck with Paul. Avoid if you value your time and belongings. read more

great communication and customer service. Price is higher but found out a lot of other companies in the area falsely underprice and then screw you when you get done your move. read more

JUST WOW! Today, I had the great pleasure of working with Man With A Van for our company's equipment relocation. Every MWAV team member was incredibly kind, super professional, timely and communicative before/during/after the move. I've been in Philly for 20 years. Today's move was BY FAR the easiest and smoothest move in my city residency. Both my business and my family look forward to many more moves with Man With A Van. **HIGHLY RECOMMEND** you hire them for your next move. read more

The best part of my moving experience was hiring Man With A Van!! Very professional, experienced and friendly! Ben and Zack are exceptional young men who helped make my Mom's move to my home an easy transition. They eased my mind and moving anxieties and respected my careful instructions with my mom's antiques. I highly recommend Man With A Van! Also, they met my Mother's approval read more

These guys were awesome. Got my three bedroom house packed and unloaded in about two hours. Careful with everything, fun to talk with along the way, what more could you want? Also it's the best deal in town, soooo read more

4.5 stars. Detracting 1/2 star for late arrival. The first gentleman who came 1/2 hr late told me he had to wait for his foreman to arrive to start and did not have a good reason why he was late nor did he apologize. The foreman (Maurice?) who came separately was very apologetic. We started 1 hour after scheduled. The women I emailed to schedule were very responsive and reached out to the movers. They were quite efficient and speedy, and my stuff was not damaged in the move. They even moved my minifridge to my car. We were able to move my studio apartment two blocks down in 1 hour. Total cost was $180. Would have appreciated a call if they were being late, but overall my experience was positive. read more

I had the movers do a large one bedroom move to a house with a lot of stairs. I booked them pretty last minute too. The crew they sent was fantastic and they really worked hard. Also, their prices as compared to other movers in the city were very fair. Would definitely book again! read more

Overall I was satisfied with my service from this company! The movers did arrive about 2 hours late for my interstate move, though they ended up taking off some of the final bill to compensate for the lateness. They were very accommodating and were able to park on the narrow city street at my destination location. Also, when they noticed that my bed that was missing some screws, they were able to use some of their own spare screws to ensure it was securely assembled. The rate was also very reasonable, and by far the least expensive out of the 10 or so other companies that I messaged. I would definitely recommend Man With A Van to those making an interstate move! read more

What I loved most about Man With a Van was that they were super responsive. This was my first time hiring help with moving. These guys were emailing, texting, and calling back and forth with me. They cleared up any confusion and also checked in with me to see if there were any changes on my end. I had a small move with only 24 boxes and I paid $200 for everything. The movers helped me move across town really fast -- it took them a little over an hour to move everything from point A to point B. They definitely saved my back/joints. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Excellent moving company!!! I was able to schedule a quickly approaching move with ease. They are one of the few places that does not have an outrageous time or pricing minimum - perfect for smaller moves like mine. I had ~15 easy to handle boxes and the entire move was completed in an hour for only $175! The two men were polite and professional. They were running a bit behind due to traffic, but called ahead to let me know of the delay, which was very much appreciated. read more

They showed up on time, and the estimate matched the final price. They were careful, quick, and moved stuff from a second floor of one house to the new place on the third floor of another house. Lots of steps in the heat and they never stopped working. Recommend! read more

I'd recommend MWAV to anyone looking for a mover! We decided to use a mover fairly last minute and I'm so glad we went with MWAV. The representatives I corresponded with via email responded quicker than any other company to my inquiry, had competitive rates, and communicated clearly from the moment of booking to the morning of the move. The team that came to move the furniture was extremely friendly, worked hard, and worked quickly! The team also communicated well throughout the move. I was anticipating a stressful day but they made it easy for me. Thanks again for making my move from Philly to Central NJ smoother than I could have expected! read more

The move was not finished because the men failed to explain that my goods will not fit in the van. I sent my inventory for a quote. The men walked through my studio apartment and began loading the van. They left behind 20% of my belongings, saying everything wouldn't fit. I had to pay for another mover. Same price (industry-accepted 2 hour minimum with cost per hour minimum) A Professional mover is its people. This mover cost me twice. Demand costs in writing. Apparently, Man With A Van expected me to know what fits in a van. I am a 71 year old widow that lives alone. UNFAIR TO SENIOR CITIZENS And thet didn't return my requests to discuss this. read more

Malik and Vaughn were absolutely amazing. They worked quickly, communicated well throughout the job, and made a potentially stressful day very easy. I had to schedule with short notice after my first mover canceled, and I appreciate how easy the process was. I will absolutely use Man with a Van next time I need to move. UPDATE Fast forward a few months and I had another move. I specifically requested Malik and Vaughn since they were so professional and helpful the first time. The team had a third helper, and Zeke was also really great. They completed the job in record time and are a really friendly group. The company is quick to respond and take all the stress out of moving. read more

I used this company when I moved last year and had a great experience! They were quick and really careful with my many fragile items. They are really responsive too which is awesome. About to move again and I am happily using them again. read more

I had the best experience with the Team of movers that I worked with yesterday. I had not idea moving could be so effortless! They arrived a little after 9 and got right to it. We all realized, what I initially thought, that everything could have been transferred in a smaller van. That's OK because it took less than 2 hours to get everything transported to my new place then for the Team to move around and unpack a couple of things that were already in my place. The guys got a little turned around in my complex however, some time was shaved off my final bill. That was good business - and it was great that consideration came from the Team before I could mention it. I told Art, Ben and Josh that I was impressed with their work ethic, their consideration and for making sure they covered every detail I'd emailed the customer service team about. The were courteous to my neighbors, my Parents and in moving their vehicle once the job was completed so my cousin could park his car to do his part to support my move. The friend who recommended "Man with a Van" is going to get a big thank you from me because she was so on point with her referral. I would highly recommend Man with a Van - and if I ever need to have something moved they will get my business! read more

Worst move ever! I cannot recommend Man With a Van at all. My move (2000 SF townhouse) was supposed to take 1 day, 2 trucks and 3 men. It ended up being 3 days, 3 trucks and 12 men, with questionable equipment. They were 2+hours late each time. There was wall damage (for which they did cover repair), floor damage, and incredible frustration. Items were "deposited" in the garage or living room, piled high to the ceiling, as they said they just needed to get the items moved in. I'm old so it took me several exhausting weeks to move these things to the proper rooms. Then I discovered three garment bags of my clothing were missing. The company said they weren't responsible (duh) and offered no compensation. I recognize that things get left on trucks sometimes, and end up somewhere else, but they just responded that they didn't have them, and I could file a theft report if I wanted. "Theft report" is not a term you want associated with moving your home from one place to another. I don't blame the workers; in each case we were their 3rd move of the day, and they were tired. They came from NYC, though I thought I was dealing with a local Philadelphia mover. We fed them and tipped them well, so I was very disappointed no one "found" my clothes. I wish I had read some of these reviews before hiring them. Caveat emptor. read more

Terrific local movers! Philadelphia area. Reasonably priced, great customer service. Small move went seamlessly. Would highly recommend.

I had heard good things, but I was really disappointed in Man with a Van who came to pack my apartment in Conshohocken on August 4th, 2017. It started off well. They were friendly, great energy, enthusiasm. They came across professional and ready to get to work! The divided to conquer and I felt good that this job would be handled well. It started to unravel as the day went on... their enthusiasm turned a bit rowdy and off on a tangent not related to the work. For example, they turned on my TV (that I needed them to pack) and started watching The Office "as background noise" but it was definitely a distraction. Soon after, they mentioned they'd run out of boxes. When I set up the appointment for a large 1 bedroom apartment, I said 50 boxes with about twenty book boxes for my bookcase. I think they only had about 25 boxes total, many of them were the Large size. They also had a very limited supply of packing paper and bubble wrap. But a few hours into the job, they ran out of boxes and one of the guys had to run out to get more. Meanwhile, I started noticing the packing was off. A lot of boxes in the kitchen were bulging at the top from not being packed properly. Because they were short on boxes, even after running out to get more, there were still many things left in the apartment unpacked. I was appalled to find that they had improvised on boxes by taping the sides up, leaving the top open. That's how they opted to pack my lamps and lamp shades. When they left, I inspected a few more boxes. A wardrobe box had my blouses draped over the top of the bar. When I removed those, I thought my coats looked normal, but I soon discovered that the base of the box was packed so full that the coats were just squished in there to the point that the use of a wardrobe box was more of a formality. The other problem we encountered was that they packed so much in the large boxes that we were unable to drag them, let alone lift them. And my movers, who came the next day, also commented the boxes were packed heavier than their standards and were difficult to lift upstairs. I spent the rest of the afternoon going to home depot to get more boxes and finish what they had started. We found it necessary to repack many of the boxes from the kitchen. We discovered our dishes and glass not wrapped properly, many items just thrown together. As I said, I was disappointed. We used Suburban Movers for the move and I wish they had had the availability to do the packing as well. I would not recommend, nor use Man with a Van again. read more

I used them the other day to transport a bed from a friend's apartment to mine. They were prompt, nice and professional. They moved the bed with no issues. Nothing more i can really ask of movers. They scraped my walls at one point but i do not think they could help it. I recommend them. Also, they were one of the only movers i could find that only requires a one hour minimum as opposed to two hours! Also they accept credit card! read more
